I have the 885 and I think it is an excellent unit. The setup is a 7.1 system and the sound is crystal clear. I've never had any issues with the 885 or any of my equipment. We're running a 35' HDMI cable to the projector, a planar, and no problems.

For my other system I'm waiting on the 997. If Trinnov is as good as I hope, I'll probably put it in the big system. We have odd center channel placement - below the screen - which isn't great for row seating.
